Accepted Answer

To see if in fact are spider bites & not another issue/tick/bed bugs. Take photos of stages. Consider precautions: mattress cover; cover body with Skin so soft or other natural noxious smell for insects/bugs/ mosquito net, etc.

Question 2

My mom had a rash under her arms that looked like spider bites what is it?

Accepted Answer

Without seeing the rash, it's difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. This sounds like a rash due to either a new sweater or blouse, or an underarm deodorant or a new soap, or new laundry detergent. Warm water compresses, a mild cleanser like cetaphil, and an over-the-counter Hydrocortisone cream, twice daily might giver some relief. If no better, have her examined by a dermatologist.

Question 4

I have a weird rash on my arm at first it looked like a spider bite but after that it looks worse it's been there for a couple weeks now?

Accepted Answer

Oftentimes patients think a rash may be from a spider bite but there was not a witnessed bite.. This oftentimes is a skin infection from a bacteria called MRSA. This can be treated with the appropriate antibiotics.

Question 5

My boyfriend has a strange rash on his elbow, swollen and painful, over 12 hrs. looks like a spider bite but not sure. thoughts?

Accepted Answer

It may be a spider bite, but then again, it could be a bite from a hornet, wasp or bee. Sight unseen it is difficult to render a dianosis.

Question 6

On my calf muscle i had a rash .over night there's now slightly bigger bumps on it ..looks like a spider bite?

Accepted Answer

Allergic dermatitis can cause a rash composed of tiny red bumps over a reddened base. Occasionally an insect bite can cause localized swelling and allergic reaction. The best course of action would be to take an antihistamine to reduce the swelling/rash. Watch the area to ensure that the redness is not expanding outward which could mean a skin infection.

Question 7

Should i be worried if i have a rash that developed from what i believe to be a spider bite?

Accepted Answer

This all depends on how long it was since you had the bite, is the rash warm, painful or expanding? These are usually signs to worry about regardless of an insect bite or not.

Question 8

Spider bite with peeling rash, how should i treat it?

Accepted Answer

If no pain, spreading, or pus, time will heal it.  If you do have one of the above symptoms, see your doctor to make sure that it has not been infected.

Question 9

Spider bite. do spider bites develop into  wart  like appearance? however such a wart  is red.  i woke up with this on my leg

Accepted Answer

Spider bites can be worse than you would think. I have seen a number of them that have become secondarily infected.  The appearance will vary with the individual and the type of spider.  Better see a doctor to be sure you don't develop any other complications.

Question 10

What is the difference between bed bug bites and spider bites how can you tell them apart? i have some brown what looks to be spots on my legs when you rub it, it feels like a slight bump.

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it can be tough to figure out, "what bit me?"  typically, bed bugs will bite in 3 areas, many times these bites follow a linear pattern and some say relate to the bed bug's meals of breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Spider bites typically are in only 1 location.  You should have someone examine your legs- a dermatologist would be a good start for your condition.
